Just for arguings sake... Dont every new MMO claim the title of fastest selling MMO?, On top of my head I think GW, Warhammer, Rift and any WoW expantion claimed the same.. Might be wrong. (As long as the MMO comunity keeps growing at the rate it has the last 5 years, it wont be long before a new game brakes the record)

And did you follow this years voting for any of the GOTY titles?, most of the games where not eaven released... It's purely based on Hype.

Never and I mean NEVER let what is said on these forums influence your opinion of the game.

Its a small population made up mostly of those I would dare say arent the intellectual cream of the crop. There are few exceptions. Forums in general are the gutters of the internet unless they are heavily controlled.

I didn't say otherwise. I said comparable, not equal or greater. If Warhammer sells 1.2 million copies on release on much weaker IP, without the benefit of SWTOR's marketing and publishing reach, that's pretty impressive.

And again, it makes me wonder just how much of SWTOR's sales are directly tied to its IP.



Really? You honestly think the Star Wars name had little to no impact on sales?
I didn't say no impact...but not as much as some folks think otherwise Star Wars Force commander would have sold millions of copies. And we would be on the Sixth Blu-Ray distribution of Episode 1.

Also those warhammer actual sales are still in question and twice as many isn't comparable it's twice as many...and just to note Warhammer is a weaker IP but not a much weaker IP ; GW rakes in millions in sales every year.

Of course they are trying. Each of their jobs alongside shareholders stocks are at stake.

One thing is clear though. If TOR is operating in the Red a year or two from now, this will be the last MMO ever attempted using the Star Wars brand name.

in every patch i find something, i felt should be improved, and then it does.

except from class balancing (which is an ever ongoing process), most the things are fine, and even balancing is ok, it is not completly broken.

tl:dr

keep up the good work BW, you will get there, because at least i can see how hard you are trying.

They are doing what I paid my initial $60 and subsequent $15 a month to do. For my money, it's sufficient, and I am confident it will improve with time.

For people who are never satisfied, of course it's not enough.
